I left out Spain for a reason
San Miguel

Actually San Miguel is from the Philippines, but it's still a crappy beer.

My answer, though, is Belgium AND England. The best beer drink is half a glass of Lindeman's Framboise Lambic with Young's Double Chocolate Stout poured on top of it. Some people call it a Chocolate Truffle, some a Chocolate Covered Raspberry. I call it heaven.

My favorite beers:

Alaskan Amber
Belgian Trippel-style Ale (from any pretty much any brewery)
Guinness
Fat Tire
Newcastle
Mac & Jack's African Amber

I could go on and on.....

Not This one. But you're right, there is a San Miguel Brewery in the Phillippines too. Never seen any beers from them in Europe though. You're in the US, right?

It's kind of hard to compare beers in the US to beers in England, Germany, Belgium, etc. You'd really have to compare the US to Europe. England has the bitters & stouts, Germany has the lagers, Belgium has the trappists, etc. Here in the US we make 'em all. And for an excellent Belgium style grand cru, go hunt down a bottle of Avery Brewing Beast. Be warned, at 18+%/vol it's not to be trifled with.

Thanks for the tip on the San Miguel de Espana. Yo no la supe.

I am neither kidding nor gay.
I have tried well over 1,000 beers from all over the world, and this is my favorite. De gustibus non est disputandum.
If you insist on my choosing something closer to the mainstream, then I recommend you to try Abita Turbo Dog from Louisiana.

i have a feeling like it should be germany or czech, but i don't have enough experience to make the call.

Been to Europe, answer (of course it varies on personal taste) is Germany, end of debate. As a bonus it's inbetween 15-20% alcohol, that'll get you blitzed. Prima!

Anyone who answered anything other than Belgium doesn't know Belgian beers.

Belgian beers are my favorite, too. The answer's still Portland.
